As busy as I am, I need systems that help keep the many parts of my life and work organized. This includes filing systems, sorting systems, books to keep track of thoughts/ideas/inspiration, and sometimes lots of piles.
I do not love change, but I like making things work better, so I am willing to try new ways to do things.
I used to file all my receipts by category (gardener, cable, mortgage) and each month it would take me a good bit of time to get all the paper put away properly. About a year and a half ago I changed the way I file, and created a monthly file for all receipts. This has been working, but now I know I need to simplify even more, and I am taking the plunge and attempting to go paperless.
There is just too much paper in my life to keep track of, too many piles to sort through, not enough room in the file cabinets, and too much wasted paper.
I need to make some more room for the meaningful stuff.
